datamining techniques are becoming indispensable as the amount and complexity of available data is rapidly growing. visualdatamining techniques attempt to include a human observer in the loop and leverage human perception for knowledge extraction. This is commonly allowed by performing a dimensionality reduction into a visually easy-to-perceive 2d space, which might result in significant loss of important spatial and topological information. To address this issue, this paper presents the design and implementation of a unique 3d visual data mining framework - CAVE-SOM. The CAVE-SOM system couples the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm with the immersive Cave Automated Virtual Environment (CAVE). The main advantages of the CAVE-SOM system are: i) utilizing a 3d SOM to perform dimensionality reduction of large multi-dimensional datasets, ii) immersive visualization of the trained3d SOM, iii) ability to explore and interact with the multi-dimensional data in an intuitive and natural way. The CAVE-SOM system uses multiple visualization modes to guide the visualdatamining process, for instance the data histograms, U-matrix, connections, separations, uniqueness and the input space view. The implemented CAVE-SOM framework was validated on several benchmark problems and then successfully applied to analysis of wind-power generation data. The knowledge extracted using the CAVE-SOM system can be used for further informeddecision making and machine learning.
